“Imagining Decolonizing and Abolitionist Futures!
Abolition Convergence 2020
May 4-6, 2020 – Tkaronto (aka Toronto, Canada)
Territories of the Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Haudenousaunee// Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation Treaty Territory // Dish With One Spoon Treaty Territory
The organizing committee for the 2020 Abolition Convergence invites you to come dream with us! In putting this event together we are inspired by the relationship between trees and mushrooms (mycorrhizae) where we see nature selecting the healthy relationships needed to bring about a mutually beneficial future across difference. Inspired by Anna Tsing’s research on these encounters blossoming into happenings – we invite each of you to join us in hopes that our relationships will advance movements and shifts that bring about the futures we dream of!
So come create, connect, explore and dream with us!
